Hello! I am a first year Science Spec at Neil Armstrong, where I previously taught 4th grade for 3 years. I know I have big shoes to fill, but am excited to work with ALL of the students in grades 1-5 and look forward to continuing to learn and grow in this new position. Science is the best and I hope I can help our students find passion in this subject, too!

I have been teaching 1st-5th grade science at Bella Vista since the school opened in 2016. I taught 4th and 5th grade prior to teaching science. The district switched to NGSS the year I started teaching science, so I am very familiar with the standards. I started teaching Twig science during our distance learning year. I have lived in San Ramon my husband and three sons for 11 years but I'm originally from Southern California.

I teach science full-time in 1st - 5th at Montair. Our school also has SDC classes which typically mainstream in science. I've been teaching science at Montair since 2014 and it's definitely the best job on campus.

Hello! This is my 4th year teaching science. I have taught 4th grade, 5th grade, and now I teach primarily 4/5 science. Science is the best as it's hands-on, fun, involves tons of questions (yay), and collaboration. I'm looking forward to working together this year.

Hi!
I teach 2nd through 5th grade science at LiveOak.
I am working with 2nd grade friends after a few years of only working with 3rd through 5th.  It is certainly fun but a lot of effort!
It is wonderful to have two other science teachers - Sara and May at LiveOak.

I'm Lisa Sawires, Science Specialist at Walt Disney Elementary. I've been a science lab teacher for 18 years. Our district is so fortunate to have science lab teachers for every elementary school. Our students are naturally curious and LOVE science. That's our job description - developing a love of science in our students. We all do that and I'm so proud to be a part of this team.

Hi everyone!
This is my second year as a Science Specialist with the district. Last year was very difficult but I am feeling a lot more settled into the role this year. I have a background in outdoor education and also worked as a museum educator. I would love to share lab ideas and teaching strategies during these meetings and learn about how others find success in running their lab spaces.

I teach 1st through 5th grade science at John Baldwin. I taught 2nd grade for 5 years before switching over to science 4 years ago...and I love it! I am a naturally curious person who loves to observe the world around me. I enjoy sharing that with my students and seeing their curiosity grow in the science lab.

This is my 20th year at Twin Creeks, full time, teaching 1-5.  I get to see 4 and 5 twice a week.  When I walk across campus, and the students all say "Hi Mrs Dees!", it makes me feel like a rock star.  What a great job!  I also get the best gifts, like finding a bowl with a dead mosquito in my box, or the dead bats from someones garage.  This always lets me know that students are thinking about science all the time.  Outside of school, I enjoy sewing, and making chocolates at Christmastime.

Hi everyone!
This is my 3rd year as a Science Specialist with the district. I teach 2nd-5th grade as well as all of our intensive SDC students. Last year was very difficult but I am feeling a lot more settled into the role this year. I have a background in outdoor education and also worked as a museum educator. I have a special interest in birds and wildlife and I also love incorporating music and movement in my science lab. I would love to share lab ideas and teaching strategies during these meetings and learn about how others find success in running their lab spaces.
